Dutch Studies: A Decolonial Revision

A Decolonial Revision Exhibition at the University of Michigan Harland Hatcher Graduate Library Winter/Spring 2022 In 1956, eleven years after proclaiming Indonesia's independence from 350 years of Dutch occupation, first president of Indonesia Sukarno received an honorary doctor of civil law degree conferred by University of Michigan President Harland Hatcher. As we celebrate fifty years of Dutch at U-M, we trace our paths toward a new frame for Dutch Studies, one that emphasizes colonial repair and rethinks which voices matter. The texts on display drown out the space traditionally given to Multatuli's Max Havelaar in the Dutch canon, as musical works by African composers cede the bells of the carillon (a quintessential Dutch instrument) to those formerly silence by Apartheid and bell metal extraction. The message of Jeffry Pondaag plays in a loop in the Hatcher gallery confronts The Netherlands' continued denial of its colonial human rights violations. Navajo-Dutch writer and 2020 candidate for U.S. president, Mark Charles (our 24th De Vries-Vanderkooy memorial lecturer) ends the exhibit with his book Unsettling Truths: The ongoing, dehumanizing legacy of the doctrine of discovery. The exhibit cases are connected by a photo tribute to people who have informed and shaped the redirection of our program.
